Released as part of their Oops! Wrong Planet album, the track wasn't released as a single and never entered the charts. At the time it was released, Rundgren and the band were simply looking for a track to add to their album. They felt it needed a hopeful song compared to other tracks like "Trapped," "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," and "The Martyr."
"We put it on a bummer album like Oops! Wrong Planet, thinking maybe we need to put something a little hopeful on it."
"Ringo has his 'three hit rule,' And I'm taking advantage of a technicality in that "Love Is The Answer" was a hit, but it wasn't a hit for me or Utopia, it was a hit for England Dan & John Ford Coley," he explained.
"Love is the Answer" by the soft rock duo landed them at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also led them to top the Adult Contemporary chart at No. 1 for two weeks. Dan Seals would revisit the track in 1995 and release an acoustic country version, and Coley also released his version in 2008.
